Could always decant the starter and store it in a sanitized mason jar in the fridge
It's highly unlikely you'll have power when the storm hits. In fact you should be anticipating a lengthy outage, say 3-4 weeks minimum. Expect the worst and prepare for it, when Charley hit we were without power for over 2 months, drinkable water for over three. If you can still get generators for 800 bucks, buy two. You might want to start looking for plywood too.
You're killing my buzz.
I was/am planning to brew on Saturday but now some of the models have this thing making landfall at Wilmington. If i can find a way to maintain the fermentation temps with no power, I may just do it anyway.
I have a 2 gallon starter going for a really big barleywine, how long will this thing stay healthy? I may have to store it until next weekend.

Just kidding. Don't drink that.
You got an ingredients list?
. Officially canceling my brew day tomorrow. I could crank out the batch before it gets bad here, buy in northern va we lose power so easily. I don't want to risk not being able to control fermentation temperature. I was going to brew an octoberfest.
Last night my crew and I definitely spent 4 hours retrofitting the firetrucks.
Every seat has a life vest and helmet, multiple rope throw bags on each truck, barricades, portable pumps, topped off the diesel in each truck, small boats to deploy in our trailer, etc...
We are planning to have around a dozen members spend Saturday night at the firehouse on standby, hoping another dozen make it out once the calls start coming in. We are planning to have each of our 5 trucks going in different directions to handle different rescues. Hopefully we don't get any building fires where multiple trucks from multiple companies will be needed.
...and I'm ~75 miles inward (straight line, not by roads). If we're preparing for it like this far inland, I would just go on vacation right now if you live in Jersey (or other coastal areas).
